This is a house that gets noticed by all who pass by. A perfect picket fence encloses the well planted perennial gardens, and a covered porch awaits for warm summers days. Throughout, you will find a home that has been thoughtfully renovated while retaining all of its victorian sensibilities. The front vestibule welcomes. A living room with custom built-ins and gas fireplace to the left, and to the right, a large dining and sitting area with double doors to the exterior(don't miss the included safe in the dining room closet!). Beyond the dining area is a well appointed cooks kitchen with granite counters, newer stainless steel appliances and eating bar. A mud room and powder room adjoin. The second floor offers three nice sized bedrooms, new bath with glass enclosed shower, and a floor plan that lends itself use as a master suite with sitting room/office, or a more traditional use. The third floor has two bedrooms, updated bath with tub, and a great center room with built in shelving that is perfect as a play space , office , or media room. The basement has a nice laundry area and ample clean storage space. Outside you will find a serene space to relax and entertain, complete with blue stone patio, grape arbor, mature perennial garden, and large storage shed. Central air and central vacuum complete this great house. All of this in a stellar location that is one block to the shops and restaurants of Chestnut Hill, and two blocks to the train.
